Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the December 17, 1793 death record of Maria Catarina Garcia who died in Cerralvo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. She is my sixth great-grandmother.

This record confirms that her husband was Pedro Jose Salinas and to date I have 13 children for them in my dathabase. Unfortunatly, I have yet to discover who her parents are.

The record indicates that she made a will but I honestly do not knwo where to search for it. I am assuming that it may be located at the municipal archives of Cerralvo.
